I think on these retros the first thing you have to decide is whether you want a 4 cylinder or 2 cylinder. There are only two 4 cylinders, I think, the CB1100 and the kawasaki Z900RS. Both are cramped for the taller rider.

If you go two cylinder then you have to decide if you are okay with a dry clutch. If not that eliminates the BMW and the Moto Guzzis.

I like all four! I do feel big on both the CB and T120, however, the CB carries extremely well and is too hard to ignore. I didn't feel as big on the Griso and RnineT, but found them to be a less upright position.

I felt a bit like riding a Tic-Tac on the Z900RS.
